A 4-year-old boy, beer in hand, is accused of stealing Christmas presents from his neighbors.

April Wright, 21 years old, is currently going through a divorce with her husband who is in jail. 

She says she is not sure how her 4-year-old managed to get out of the house, open a beer, and steal the neighbors presents from under their tree. 

Now she’s just glad he’s okay and says she won’t let it happen again.

The child, Hayden, was found at 1:45 am Tuesday, wandering the streets of his neighborhood.  In a police reports, officers said he was wearing a little girl’s dress and drinking a beer. The police report says the child had to be taken to the hospital to be treated for alcohol consumption.

Wright says she woke up that night at 1:45 am and panicked when she discovered Hayden was gone.  She says she put safety devices on all the doors so her kids couldn’t get out, but Hayden was able to break the safety device off the doorknob and get outside.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office report says Hayden rang the doorbell a few houses down and the neighbor answered, finding the child holding a partially consumed 12-ounce beer.

But it doesn’t stop there. The report said Hayden then snuck into a neighbor’s house through an unlocked front door, and stole five wrapped Christmas gifts.  One was a girl’s brown dress which Hayden was wearing when police found him.

“Kids do things like this and it’s out of your control. You can do the best you can as a mother, but everyone makes mistakes. It was an honest mistake,” Wright said.
